Well, with both teams advancing to Omi Jingu, I'm not really sure who's going to end up winning this one. I can see Kana winning her match, and Chihaya seems like she'll turn things around, but I'm not at all sure about the others. I like how both sides are showing plenty of team spirit - even if Mizusawa loses, I think I'll be satisfied with the result (but of course, I want Mizusawa to win!).

And Sudo's hilarious! His nerve-shattering cough was particularly enjoyable (in a sadistic way ).

100% of information in signatures on this forum involving percentages is false. If you feel as cheated by this atrocity as I do, don't you dare copy this into your signature.
Hold on... if this percentage was correct at the time of print, that means the actual percentage of false information is less than 100% if this signature is included. Which means that... no! I've become a slave to the system!!

Gosh, Chihaya is a scary opponent now. Nerves of steel and even when it doesn't look like she has a chance, she's so positive in attack that her opponent starts to doubt themselves. Mizusawa's exertion of pressure on Hokuo was fantastic. They're going to be formidable at Omi Jingu.

I would have been worried for Mizusawa if Chiba hadn't been completely dominated.

Megumu's at the level where it would be a massive accomplishment for Chihaya to win, but you can actually realistically see it happen. I don't know how to call this one.

I want to believe Mizusawa will win, but I don't see how they can. Karuta miracle?

Oh, and I totally wish there was a Sudoufuru, I'd be all over that.

Spoiler:- Also, more of this guy please:

EDIT: Had a look to see how much of the manga the anime has covered, this current match was in chapters 81-84, hitch leaves something like 24 chapters left at this point, that's without the rest of the episodes for this season airing yet. That makes it look like season 3, if it happens, could be a bit of a wait.

Well, that was a spectacular ending. Obviously a fantastic win for Mizusawa, but it felt like a personal victory for Taichi too. To have luck finally go his way when it mattered most on a card that captures his relationship with Chihaya perfectly...

I love how this show never glosses over the fact that for all the strategy and sweat, this is a game with poetry at its heart.

That was incredible. It takes a very special kind of show to get me that into an episode. When I was watching it was no longer "was it written that they win or lose?" but just "will they win? Can they pull it off?" It's just pure emotion at that point and I was swept up in it. And the payoff? Perfect.

Also there's the stuff TotalPotato mentioned as well, what the cards represented, all the build up they've been doing for Taichi for this one moment. And goddamn the music fits so well.
